As the Pringle Chips jingle goes: "Once you pop, you can't stop" or as the Pokeman catch phrase goes "Gotta catch'em all".

Or do you rather have a G1 Transformers Master Force D-311 Black Zarak with GPS and see it crumble into gold dust when you open the box to see the contents? I'll think that upgraded SV-51 will be better than the original release.

Well.. Are you ready to spend roughly 18 hrs + (give or take) to put her together? That's roughly the price of six Macross valks or maybe 5 Hi-Metal R's including the Monster. I can see a interesting mash up of Star Wars and Macross in a diorama when completed. -

I was briefly actually into this when I was living in YYZ. Autoart has a good selection of JDM cars, however quite pricy for the 1:12 scale. Maisto, Jada toys, IXO, Ebbro, Kyosho, et al might be a reasonable choice if your only collecting in 1:18 scale. 1:64 scale is smaller and more wallet friendly. I'm actually a gearhead by trade, however I switched trades down the road years later. Still into the JDM cars thanks to Initial D and Freeway Speedway (now named Tokyo Speedway. I have the Collectors DVD Set that I bought at HMV for $50 CDN three years before they filed for bankruptcy). The Wave Macross looks more realistic (Movie Colour Accurate) compared with the Megahouse version and for $100, it is worth it. For any Macross fans, the SDF-1 is either a Grail or an "Holy Grail" to acquire for our collection! -
@jenius: That is Baker's Dozen Donuts catch phrase as well "Buy 12, get the 13th free" (or something to that nature) when I was working at the Donut chain back when I was in YYZ. I don't know if they still carry on the tradition now, however some of the donut chain stores here in Canada don't offer the 13th donut for free when you buy a dozen. Man... If you inhale 13 donuts by yourself, that's a recipe for a health disaster right there! @amptor: Are you trying to troop build Elintseekers for your collection? If so, that it serious stuff!

Since you posted the 35th Anniversary DYRL stamp set @sh9000 (or to anyone that knows), there has been a question in regards to Max and Milla and their respective Q-Rau suits (in the bottom left hand corner 3rd shot) and it seems that is no definitive answer (if this isn't the correct thread I apologize in advance). My theory: Since that Max since was interested in Milla (in human form) and they started a relationship together, there is a possibility that Max has gotten interested in Zentradi/Meltrandi technology (through Milla), and that he wanted to experience to what is to be in Zentradi size. Milla had gotten a Q-Rau in the latter part of the movie for Max to use when macro-sized. Sounds plausible? Note: I definitely like the stamp homage of the OST cover albums. Edit: Just found out that the model kit covers are from the deflunked Arii/Imii and some Bandai. -
That's $470 CND when doing the conversion! Will be better off getting Mirage's VF-31C and the Fast Pack combo or wait for the upcoming SV-51 (Nora version).
-
I know that the SV-262 is not to everyones' cup of tea, however there are some things that have crossed my mind if Roid's does get released (either in the Decultured format or the plain Jane one). Most likely that the additional add-on set with the Lil'Drakens will be re-coloured and re-released, however I don't see it becoming a regular on the Decultured one (unless the ishta is painted on the missile pack doors). How would the tampos/paint chips be amended on the valk if one so has the itch to fiddle around with it (or not and just put it in the display case upon getting a copy). Edit: Hopefully to see if the Draken has more love when the movie does get released (or not).

@dj760: I hope that you did get the 2 YFs at a good price and without breaking the bank at the same time.. Would love to get the VF-21 if Arcadia does have the chance to do it and address the needed bugs as per Chris on the Collection DX reviews. All the posts of the VF-1SS make the wait for Nexx's version even more unbearable (and address some of the short comings that I have read in regards to Silvies). -
As per the old adage goes "It depends on the luck of the draw and if you're lucky or not". On a unrelated note: This reminds me of when Lando lost the Falcon on a game of Sabbac to Han and Lando jokingly accuses Han of stealing his ship in SW: ESB upon greeting Chewie, Han, R2, 3PO and Leia on Cloud City.

Hmm.. I bet that Messer is thinking in his head: "You think that you're better then me Keith? Well, the two us can play this game and I'll show you how is the better fighter! Bring it on!"
-
Just another thought.. Can this be the twin's, and Bogue's Draken (don't know of Hermann's or Kassum's version)? Edit: @raptormesh: Getting the add-ons or are you going to leave it for now?

You know what's next on the list? Matching Q-Raus in both Max and Milla colours a la DYRL (if Arcadia decides to make them; that's another rabbit hole all together). -
@seti88: You can use a clear rubber band (that's use to tie down figures in the package) and somehow make then fit (just a thought).
-
As for the Green/Black Drakens, isn't that a possibility of the mass released version that Berger promised to Windermere in order to strengthen the air force in one episode? Looks like the colour of the Grace O'Conner's mass production VF-27 in Frontier (I could be wrong).
-
Have you gotten the chance to change it to gerwalk/battriod mode (or you left it as is)? Any visible paint chips/scratches that you have noted since you have gotten it in hand.
-
If the q-raus are going to be implemented in the lineup, is there a possibility that Bandai might look back into the Robot Spirits (Damashii) ones and make the proper changes (if so, I can really pick up a Milia/Max dual. If not then the regular version will do also).

@Stampeed Valkyrie: I hope that you got for a good price and that you didn't have to sacrifice any of your body parts for it! One of the "Holy Grails" in any collector's want list in regards to Macross lore. -
Even the auctions at FromJapan aren't helping due to the insane asking price. As for the loose VF-31J that I did mention the previous post, it doesn't have the stand which is in the complete package and possible missing hands/accessories (it may or may not be a deal breaker). Did the seller forget to complete the transformation or just made an lackluster attempt in doing so?

Latest Macross acquisition. The Double CD version of the Frontier OST (Vocal Collection) @Lolicon: Where you mentioning about the TOS Defiant or the DS9 version? If its DS9 version, I take it on XL format as the regular sized one is lacking in details.

Don't really know the cut off date, as you have to pay upfront for the VF-31C Supers right away (if there is a price difference, hopefully that you don't have to pay the difference if you made an early pre-order). From what I understand, the original pre-orders for the Hi-Metal R Roy was under estimated and that NY had to scramble to acquire more copies to keep up with the demand and asked for more additional fees. Some got lucky as they didn't have to pay extra as the early shipments of the Hi-Metal R Roy where shipped out, while the latter orders had to pay the extra fees (I was one of them). That actually didn't suit well with me as actually pre-paid in full for my copy of Hi-Metal R Roy and was not impressed when getting the additional fees tacked on. I did pay the difference and got my copy, however I'm using NY as my last option if I can't get a valk that I want anywhere else. On the subject of the VF-31, I was sifting through From Japan and the VF-31J Kai is getting pricey. However, if anyone wants a plain VF-31J, then there is one copy used/opened (sans box) up for grabs.. Get it before it becomes vaporware!

A blast from the past! I actually watched Robotech first (all three sagas on ADV Films DVD) and then Macross two or three months later and now hooked on the latter. Even though I like the Macross valks, I still have a soft spot for the Alpha/Beta fighters and the Cyclones. Edit: @mechaninac: The Aoshima one (that you posted) is asking close to $700 USD on Evilbay (not including S+H). -
@raptormesh: You have actually got a good deal for the SV-262 (I see that their asking 17K for most of them). If there was additional damage, Manda would tell it on the description and photograph each damage that was noted.
-
@hardreturn: Seeing your pics of the VF-31(s) and @TCracker's of the SV-262 (on his webpage as well) has made it more interesting.. I wish that Sixo (this may not suit his fancy) can actually acquire a valk and show off his photography skills as well. As you can tell from my user name, I'll be bouncing around in this one and in the other one as well. @Kanedas Bike: I actually had to look around for a fitting pic to reply back. Taken from an Esty link.

I actually looked at that VF-171 on Manda that's $340.00 CND upon conversion. Too rich for my blood.. For that price, I could actually get the Draken and the add-ons together as a complete set (which I'm currently leaning towards)..
